IP XML MULTIPLAYER GAME

[dont have a cow]

HOW DO I CONNECT TO PEOPLE FOR MULTIPLAYER REAL TIME GAME?

I GOT THESE ONLINE GAMES FROM JOBE MAKAR'S FLASH GAME DESIGN DEMISTYFIED AND AM TRYING TO PUT A MULTIPLAYER CHESS GAME ONLINE

I HAVE A FREE GEOCITIES HOST SO I CANT GET THE ACTIONSCRIPT FILES
TO THE FILE MANAGER.

1. WHAT FILES DO I NEED TO GET UP? (THE SWF, ACTIONsCRIPTS, JAVA ELECTROSERVER?...)

2. IF I CANT GET A HOST TO DO IT, HOW CAN I GET THE CHESS GAME ACCESSIBLE ON A WEBSITE THAT IS HTTP://BLA.BLA.BLA.BLA (MY IP)

3. WHAT DOES CHANGING THE IP ADDRESS IN THE XML FILE DO?

MY GOAL FOR NOW IS JUST TO PUT THE CHESS GAME ONLINE AND PLAY WITH AT LEAST ONE PERSON ANY HELP WOULD BE DANDY

Hi DAP

First your need a true server hosting Electroserver :

- http://www.webgamehost.com/account_features.html
- Or use you computer for hosting yourself the server

Geocities its a free site but i think you can t use dynamique language there like
php asp asp.net jsp... its no a good way to run online this games
So if you want to host yourself you hve to install the electroserver, install a server like apache, or IIS ... gl
If you never install a server http ftp smtp... see so tutorial on the net its easy gl

Maximus is correct. You won't be able to run ElectroServer from Geocities as they won't allow you to run applications of their servers. You can host your site on Geocities, but you will need to run the chat server somewhere else.
